Built a 20 person company around our own portfolio.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!

I’ve built a solid network of contractors, hard money lenders, conventional/DSCR lenders, and property management companies that serve as my trusted boots on the ground contacts in Memphis.

The most reliable method to locate liens and their positions is to conduct a title search through a title company.

We designed our company Winnow to be a huge time-saver. 

Have recently started a renovation company with a friend, both of us successful business owners and talented in the trades.

This is sad for a company like BP to not support their technology.  

Depending on the repair (reroof, new electrical system etc) reputable and solvent contractors can be open to being paid at closing.There are also third party companies such as Curbio that can be a fit for this situation.

For firsts I have seen one company recently doing 30%+ on first position liens.

If you choose to do the lien, have an attorney or title company draw it up for you.
